(and before you smarta$$es say something, that DOESN'T sound like something from a gay porno!)

Thanks!

Haha, yes it does! But it actually sounds more like erotica reading. "We started unpacking, and it wasn't but seconds later that we were all packed up... and that's when he reloaded on my face... twice. Camp David, I'll never forget you."

as far as boot times in server 2k8, right now i'm 50s cold boot to desktop and 21s resume from hibernate. that's a base install w/ no programs on there yet. i'm going to install tinyxp now and see if anything changes. might also take out some ram and see if that speeds up resume from hibernate time.

3GHz P4, 1GB PC3200, 80 gig 7200rpm sata is what im testing this on.. and some "ibm think center" mobo i scrounged up.

well tinyxp is giving me a 29 second cold boot and 10 second resume from hibernate.. even before minlogon (though this is with 1/4 the ram as the original configuration). all time measurements are including bios time -- from button press to usable desktop.

this is all without any of my apps installed yet so im thinking boot times may improve with minlogon, but then all my startup apps (a vst host, my frontend, gps software..) will just add back on to that.. and if i understand how hibernate works correctly, then hibernate times will stay the same no matter what i have running.

ill do more testing once i have everything installed, but looks like i'll be goin with xp (or stripped server2k3 if it ends up being better in some way). i originally wanted to go with server 2k8 or vista for the improved audio subsystem, but asio4all supposedly bypasses kmixer so then there's no reason for me not to use 2k3/xp.

and now on to setting up active crossover through a myriad of asio emulators, virtual sound cards, and vst plugins!
